7/13/17: CCLQ @ Ella's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  Last week the blogger was out sick, so sorry there was no blog. This week seven quilters met at Ella's home. Make that eight quilters as we had a virtual visit from Ruth S. via Skype! We were also pleasantly surprised with a visit from Cheryl B!  


Ella served up yummy watermelon, gluten free brownies, and lemon poppy seed muffins!

DeeDee started show and tell with a new project. 

DeeDee redesigned this quilt block for a more  symmetrical look.

DeeDee found some excellent fabrics when she went on vacation to South Carolina.  
Oh yeah...lovely pink flamingos!

DeeDee found this row by row for Linda. 

Another stash builder for DeeDee...beautiful butterfly fabric. 

Joanna shared this stunning "Night Star" quilt from a Craftsy quilt kit and class. She made this while at the beach last week!
 
Deborah shared this nine patch quilt which was recently machine quilted by Gayle S.

Joanna stretches to rearrange colors on Ella's quilt.


Wow...look at this stunning Lady of the Lake quilt!


Ella plans to make placemats with the left over blocks. 

Ella gave away lots of thread! Thank you Ella!

Ruth S participated via Skype.  We each took turns talking with Ruth one by one!


Ruth S shared her latest project.  It's called Stripy Trees. 


This is Barry's latest block with the fabric from  his Father's Day gift. 

Six quilters dined at the Saxapahaw General Store Cafe.  

Next week, quilters will meet up at the Quilt Expo in Raleigh either on Thursday or Saturday. 

Until next time.... When life gives you scraps make a quilt! "
